Adds an explicit explanation to help contributors avoid common mistakes
like capitalization errors, missing trailing periods, and incorrectly
prefixing the name of a subsystem.

Fixes #1535.

David Rosa bdbc384de5 docs: Reduce the number of apparently broken links on github.
- Updated 260+ links from ".html" to ".md" to reduce the number of issues
reported about hyperlinks not working when viewing docs on Github.
- Removed temporary workaround that suppressed all warnings reported
by sphinx build for every link ending in ".html".

Details:
The recent upgrade to recommonmark==0.5.0 supports auto-converting
".md" links to ".html" so that the resulting HTML output is correct.

Notice that links pointing to a heading i.e. "../filename.html#heading",
were not updated because recommonmark does not auto-convert them.
These links do not generate build warnings and do not cause any issues.
However, there are about ~100 such links that might still get misreported
as broken links.  This will be a follow-up issue.

Background:
docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark #13013
docs: Allow .md links between doc pages #11719

Fixes #11087.

Chris Bobbe 04e6c3bd18 docs/version-control: Set commit message line limit to 70.
https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/pull/3404#issuecomment-477411875

A discussion followed at

https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/3-backend/topic/commit.20line.20length

and that was agreed on for the commit message body, but noted that a
length of 76 was acceptable for the summary because of the
single-line constraint and the fact that it ends in a period, making
it clear where it ends.

David Rosa 0d52d24d64 docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark
Summary:
- recommonmark: 0.4.0 -> 0.5.0
- CommonMark: 0.5.4 -> 0.9.0
- Fixed links getting their .md file extension cut off
- Supressed 262 new warnings

Details:
Appended #anchors to markdown github links as a workaround to
recommonmark 0.5.0 cutting off the ".md" part from them.
Sphinx build would fail as follows

[documentation_crawler] ERROR: Please check link:
<404 https://github.com/zulip/zulipbot/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING>
<404 https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/master/requirements/README>
<404 https://github.com/zulip/python-zulip-api/blob/master/zulip_bots/README>

sphinx build would also log a "WARNING: None:any reference target not found"
for every link ending in .html
So a good temporary solution is to suppress all warnings with the method suggested here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37359407/suppress-warnings-for-unfound-references-with-default-role-any-in-sphinx

A better solution would be to edit all links ending .html and use .md instead;
which would also solve PR #11719.

Fixes #11395.

Samuel Searles-Bryant c87893feea docs: Update .html links to .md.
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as
to `.md` files to point to the corresponding `.html` files, so this
migration does not change the resulting HTML output in ReadTheDocs.
But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.

This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.

Fixes: #11087.

This updates the developer documentation to recommend `git clone -c`

configuration.

The hope is that this will help minimize how often new contributors
end up accidentally messing up their PRs by using `git pull`.

Tweaked by tabbott to fix broken links and optimize the language.

David Rosa Tamsen 7072fa5b37 docs: Reorganize developer docs to improve navigation.
This commit helps reduce clutter on the navigation sidebar.
Creates new directories and moves relevant files into them.
Modifies index.rst, symlinks, and image paths accordingly.

This commit also enables expandable/collapsible navigation items,
renames files in docs/development and docs/production,
modifies /tools/test-documentation so that it overrides a theme setting,
Also updates links to other docs, file paths in the codebase that point
to developer documents, and files that should be excluded from lint tests.

Note that this commit does not update direct links to
zulip.readthedocs.io in the codebase; those will be resolved in an
upcoming follow-up commit (it'll be easier to verify all the links
once this is merged and ReadTheDocs is updated).

Fixes #5265.
